finish

this one is on ebay germany.

Ok thank you all for the attention. I have "El Negro" here and he has something on the front. it does not look like a ding since there is no hole on the wood, it looks like a chunk of wax finish came off but I was told earlier by somebody at Dan B that this is not a waxed finish. This is a...

I've heard that finished basses take away from the body woods natural tone and I was wondering if a satin finish could affect tone in any way.

Yep, if you ask for a High Polish stain finish on the body of a bolt-on instrument, and a matching headstock, will you get a high polish finished headstock, or do you have to ask for it ? As simple as it gets...

I was wondering if the sandblasted finish had been attempted on other woods and if it gives good results on other woods than French Ash? I'm under the impression that it might look bitchin' on a piece of Zebrano... But you guys at Warwick probably tried it out before coming out with the...

Hey chaps... It's all in the thread's title. If you look in the Custom Shop price list, you can read on the first page "it's better to have a finish on the maple fingerboard, to prevent the wood from an early"... Yeah but an early what ? The sentence is not complete ! So does (flamed)...

tomorrow i get my two-piece warwick bridge and along with having that fitted, i'm refinishing the bass but i need to know what kind of finish it has now to find the right paint remover. is the wood stained with an acrylic liquer over it, or it it just black paint... or is it something else...

Hey guys! I have a doubt regarding my SSI fretless finish. I would like to make it shine again, but I'm not shure about the method. I have seen some refinishing works you guys did , but first need to know which type is mine...:shock: I post some pics the previous owner sent me...

I'm looking at a used Warwick with a nirvana black finish. The body wood is ash and it has a number of dings and white scratches in the finish. Has anyone had this body finish professionally restored with good results? If so, who did it? Does Warwick offer this service? Thanks. Frank

i've aquired a 2nd hand corvette proline 6.... the last owner told me it had a few corrections made (don't know where!).... the neck wasn't very stable so he added a "skunk-stripe" of a harder wood (bubinga?, pau-ferro?) (this was a few years ago!)... this seemed to solve his problem... but...

I don't recall this discussion explicitly.................... I read that the natural oil finish basses sound "woodier" than basses with high polish; I can understand this from a psychological point of view, but has anyone here done an A/B comparison, e.g. with an off the shelf Thumb or...

:roll:

I thought some of you fine people might like to cast your eyes over some of the amazing work the custom shop does. The above bass was airbrushed by Sims UK.(please correct me if I'm wrong).

Hey, Odominguez, can you tell me mor detailed how you use melted wax at the factory, because I have to refinish a damaged warwick thumb, and I would like to do it the way you make it at the factory. Thanks :-)

Some of you know already about the thumb I restaured :-) I think I have a mistake... I finished with warwick surface finisher directly on the bare wood. And I fel the wax is just on the surface, and the wood is not well protected. I droped some water on the bass, and some white traces...

Helo guys, I just bought a sh Thumb NT5. The owner painted the oil finished surfece with tranparent laque. The laque is scraching out easiy in some parts and more difficult in other parts. However, in the wood are still traces of laque between the fibers. I am just as stupid as the ex...

I think it looks great in the Nirvana Black and the red? How about you?

I have a Warwick Infinity,Natural finish.Can someone please give me more information on how to look after this particular finish (what cremes or oils to use for cleaning,etc.)?!

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I was recently thinking about how awesome an Infinity SN TCS with a Matte Black finish would be. However, I'm not quite sure how you would classify the finish. Would I have to pay for a "Bolt-On" finish (Neck isn't painted) or a "Neck-Through"...

sorry if ive asked this before.. i cant rember or it probboly was a small question after a series of more important ones. Im wondering if the chrome finish is avaiable for the corvette double $$. If it costs extra please state what it would cost...and then how much a normal finish would cost so...
